Synopsis

Companies are recognizing the importance of Info-Security and how proactive security measures can help to mitigate the risks for mission-critical businesses. Governments are investing heavily to ensure that their IT infrastructure is well secured.  Just  recently,  the  Singapore  government  announced  the  development of a Cyber-WatchCenter that aims to enhance Singapore's defence against cyber-attacks and provide near real-time response to cyber-threats.

The wide use of the technology and increasing sophistication of security threats has made Info-Security a key concern among both the  public and private sectors.  Come and be inspired by  Eddie Chau,  President and CEO of e-Cop, the region's leading Info-Security Technologies and Services Provider; as he shares the secrets behind identifying opportunities in the highly competitive IT world and what it takes to be a successful Technopreneur.
